<h4>Prince Williams/Wireimage/Getty Images</h4>Prior to the RIAA's Wednesday (July 27) announcement that Future's sixth studio album and his collab album alongside Juice WRLD — titled HNDRXX and WRLD On Drugs, respectively — had officially crossed the platinum certification threshold, Drake had seven platinum-certified studio albums under his belt, making him the most commercially successful rapper to emerge during the 2010s.
